sure, but gaijin make those ERA to a whole piece and that means VT4 can only take one shoot, then it will trun back to previous status :(
Some era blocks have different thickness. All FY-4 or FY-2 blocks dont have the same thickness throughout the whole tank.
I’ve heard that there might be different Variants, but the issue is that Gajjin didn’t really specify if they are different or not, they are all labeled as the same ERA
Actually you can check it by yourself. For example you can compare the frontal FY-4 and side FY-4 of a tank and you will clearly see the difference between thickness.

Interesting, I guess I was just assuming that Gajjin had overlooked it
Gaijin made another mistake?
undetailed era on vt-4 // Gaijin.net // Issues
The bug report for merged ERA plates has just been labelled fixed but I don’t see any changes in game.

My only guesses is that maybe it will be fixed when the next small patch drops?
Also my face when they still haven’t implemented the reload buff

As it stands now, VT4A1’s performance is still very poor among the top tiers. Since we have a separate community outside of War Thunder, the Chinese community has expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with this tank.This update gives Chinese players a little hope, but it’s obviously not enough.

At the same time, our Chinese community has also noticed the situation of vehicles from other countries, and also expressed these dissatisfaction with gaijin such as Leopard2 and Challenger.https://forum.warthunder.com/t/convey-a-news-message-to-gaijin-about-chinese-vehicles/56648/12

Update 2.33.0.31 - #59 the last part of the message definitely makes it sound like Gajjin is still scrambling to work on all the bug reports. I just hope that by the end of the month the last few acknowledged reports for the VT-4(reload, spall liners, and detailed ERA) can be put to rest
Restore history and strengthen Chinese vehicles!

Is this the spall liner layer of VT-4?
It looks a lot like a fabric. Maybe the whole white layer is spall liner. As you can see the whole white painted layer is uneven. I dont think metal would be that uneven.

Hey guys, I just made a suggestion, so if y’all wanna check it out and leave your thoughts on it pls do! Would be greatly appreciated!

It seems like we’ll have to wait for player statistics to be considered first before they change the reload, unless someone wants to make a suggestion page for the reload buff as I really don’t see any good reason for the VT-4 to be held back

Interior of MBT 2000. Anyone know what’s the use of this rod?

Is this a spall liner?

I believe both these pics you posted suggest that the MBT-2000 actually has a lot of spall liners around the turret, you should make a report if one hasn’t been made already

It’s for locking the gun in place while not in use/transit

That would be HUGE if it is. A lot of the Chinese tanks weaknesses is the turret roof not steep enough to ricochet so you can easily kill 1 crew member and destroy breach by shooting there. A spall liner there would prevent that and actually make them survivable.
BTW what do tank spall liners even look like? The Abrams are supposed to have them but just like every image I see it just looks like white painted metal. Is that just how spall liners look like?

It can be sprayed, integrated within the armor, or sheeted around the inside of the vehicle.
